Liam one shot for Elly (nniam)
I stood in front of the building, watching the kids flood inside. I huffed. "Another year of bullshit." I sighed as I entered into college. I passed a few familiar faces, none that I've ever talked to though. I finally reached my locker. I stayed quiet, gathering my books, until someone slammed my locker shut. "Hey Els! How was your summer?" Melissa asked. "Boring. I picked up a part time job though, pays quite well."
We walked around college, skipping first period. "Hey bitches!" I heard Taylor say. We continued walking around the college; laughing, singing, jumping all around until we saw the principal. We quickly hid behind the corner that we just rounded. "Ok. I'll check if he's still there." I took a deep breath and stuck my head around the corner. All I could do was stare. The principal was talking to this beautiful boy. He wore a black leather jacket with a black batman shirt underneath, black jeans, black boots, and brown hair hidden by a snapback. I took in his features, especially his eyes, I could get lost in them. The principal snatched the hat off his head and he snatched it right back.
I snapped back to reality when his eyes met mine. I gasped, practically jumping into Taylor's arms. "What?" She asked. "Nothing. The principal almost saw me." We turned and walked the other way. "So what are your A levels?" Melissa asked. "Yeah Els, let's hear what you chose!" I sighed. "Psychology, History, Spanish, and Drama." They frowned at me. "We've got nothing but History together." The bell rang. "See you after college yeah?" I said, heading toward Psychology.
As soon as I got there, I took a seat in the very back corner farthest from the door and pulled out a notebook and pen. I wasn't very talkative in class unless I had friends in there. "Everyone! This is Liam Payne, our new student." I looked up and saw the beautiful boy I was admiring earlier. He saw me and slyly smiled. I immediately looked down, trying to occupy myself. "You'll sit in front of Elly there." Shit. I went into panic mode. I busied myself immediately. I heard a small chuckle and looked up to see Liam leaning back in his chair. He put earphones in. His music wasn't too loud, but I could hear it a little. It was the type of music you'd expect; heavy drums and guitar.
The end of the day couldn't come quick enough. I was waiting outside by the cafeteria, leaning up against the brick wall. Melissa and Taylor were running late, as usual. I looked to my left down the narrow pathway and saw him. He looked at me as he took a long drag of his cigarette. He blew some smoke out of his mouth before smirking at me, letting the rest escape from his nostrils. My phone vibrated, scaring the hell out of me. Sorry Els. Gotta cancel. Love ya! xx I sighed and started home.
Months had passed and Liam never spoke to me and I never spoke to him. We had every class together except for History. "Alright class! We're going to start studying dreams and their meanings for the next couple of weeks. We're going to do a partner project that's due at the end of this unit." She started running off pairs. "Elly and Zayn." I sighed in relief. Zayn was like Liam; dark, mysterious, and quiet. I'd spoken to Zayn a few times so it wouldn't be too awkward. We got into our pairs. "Come to mine after school and we'll work on this." He said, leaning back in his chair. I nodded.
I was standing in front of Zayn's door. I was about to knock on the door when it swung open. I was greeted by a startled Liam. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "I... Zayn... Project." I laughed nervously. I brushed past him and went into the kitchen where Zayn was sitting at the island. "Hey Els." He said, not looking up from the work in front of him. I sat down and we straight away got to work.
We worked until 3 AM. We finished our entire project though, which was good. "Well, I'm going to bed." Zayn yawned. "You can sleep on the couch across from Liam." He said. I froze. "I'll go get you a pillow and blanket." He disappeared down the hall. I sat quietly on the couch, careful not to wake Liam. "Here." Zayn said placing the stuff gently on the arm of the couch. I got settled and laid there staring, the dim light from the porch light shining through the window. It was shining on Liam's face, causing him to turn over. I eventually drifted off to sleep. "Elly, we're gonna be late." I heard a voice say. I rolled over, forgetting I was on a couch, and fell. I landed with a little squeal. I looked up to see Liam laughing. I huffed and got up.
I went into the kitchen and grabbed a banana for breakfast to eat as I walked to college. I walked out Zayn's front door and headed toward college. Liam eventually caught up to me and started talking to me. "So why were you at Zayn's? I didn't know you knew him." I swallowed, trying to compose myself. "Um. Yeah, We talked a few times last year. We had English together. He's really good at it." Liam kept making small talk until we were at college, He said goodbye and went on his way. I had a load of Spanish work to catch up on, so I skipped first period and headed to the auditorium.
I sat in the control room. I had access to it all day because I worked the lighting in Drama. I started on my work. I'd been in there alone for at least an hour when I heard foot steps on the stage. I looked up and saw Liam walking towards the end of the stage with a guitar. He sat down and started strumming the chords to Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. I was in awe watching him. His voice was absolutely beautiful. The bell rang, making me jump. I gathered my things and hurried to psychology.
I was the last person to show up to Psychology. Liam smiled at me as I sat down. "Now where was miss always-the-first-person-to-every-class?" He smirked and he placed his elbows on my table so he could lean back and talk to me. "No where." I said lowly. "You okay?" He asked. "Yeah, just stressed." He turned around and faced me. "Tell you what, come around to mine tonight yeah?" He smiled. "What are you up to?" I asked, seeing a glint of something in his eye. "Nothing. Just an innocent gathering between a guy and girl." I raised an eye brow at him. "Nothing! I swear!" He yelled. "Something you'd like to share Mr. Payne?" The professor asked. "I just really need a cig is all. Carry on." He said sarcastically. He got up and walked out.
The day passed without me seeing Liam at all. The final bell rang and I quickly found Zayn in the art studio. "What happened to Liam today?" I asked him. He shrugged. "He needed a cig, left, and hasn't texted me all day. Why?" He asked looking over his glasses. "He told me to come around to his tonight to hang. There's only one problem, haven't got a clue where he lives." I said sounding a bit sad. "C'mon, I'll show you."
Zayn led me up the street where Liam lived. We stood in front of his garden. All of a sudden there was a loud crash and screaming. Zayn grabbed me. "Go home. Go home now ok?" I stood there shocked. "Ok?!" He shouted at me. I nodded and ran in the opposite direction.
I hadn't seen Liam in 2 months. I was really starting to worry. I sat next to Zayn in psychology. "Where's Liam?" I asked him. He shrugged. "Don't lie to me Zayn where is he?" He sighed. "He's at home taking care of his mother. His father's been in and out of his life abusing both of them. When we went to his house, his dad hurt his mum pretty bad. She started drinking heavily too so she abuses Liam without even knowing. Just let him be! He's got it tough Els." He whispered. I could tell in his voice he was annoyed by me. I felt like breaking down. I got up and ran out of the room and out of the school.
I ran until I couldn't run anymore. I'd ended up in the middle of town. I walked into the drug store and bought a bottle of water. I saw someone slip out of the store out of the corner of my eye. "Oi boy get back here!" The shop keeper ran after him. It was Liam. I ran after him as well. "Liam stop!" It was just us running through the woods. He kept running and I was starting to lose him in all the branches and trees. "Liam!" I shouted. No response. I stopped running and started to walk.
I'd walked for what seemed like hours. I heard rustling a few feet in front of me. I saw his unmistakable leather jacket. "Liam?" I said quietly. He jumped and turned around. He had scratches on his face and a black eye. "Liam what happened? Who did this?" I asked stepping closer. "Why do you care? You haven't come around at all. The girl I fell for instantly didn't come around for months! How do you think that feels?" He asked, now shouting. "Was it your dad or your mum?" I asked lightly. He looked at the ground, his jaw and fists clenching. "How'd you know?" He asked through gritted teeth. "Zayn told me today." His breathing got heavy and he unexpectedly punched the tree next to him. I jumped back a little. His tone changed immediately. "No. Elly, don't be scared please." He begged. He slowly grabbed my hand. "Let's go to mine."
We'd been at his for about 4 hours. We'd stayed in the kitchen because his mother was on the couch. "So you've been taking care of her for the 2 months you've been gone?" He nodded. He looked down at the counter and started lightly hitting his fist to it. He looked up, sadness overpowering his eyes. "It's hard. She's been drinking since I was 5. Dad's been in and out abusing us since I was 7. Mum started drinking and doing all sorts of drugs when I was 8. I've been stealing from shops for years, just so I can have something to eat." I saw a tear escape his eye. I walked around the counter and wrapped my arms around him. He instantly hugged back, now crying hard. "It's been so damn hard. I've transferred so many times. I'm not gonna pass." I rubbed his back. "Shhhh. It's ok Liam. I'll be here. I'll fix you." I said. He pulled his head up from my shoulder and looked at me. "You mean it?" I nodded. He gentley placed his lips on mine.
